Zach Brown 841d22e26e Disable task reclaim flags for block cache vmalloc
Even though we can pass in gfp flags to vmalloc it eventually calls pte
alloc functions which ignore the caller's flags and use user gfp flags.
This risks reclaim re-entering fs paths during allocations in the block
cache.  These allocs that allowed reclaim deep in the fs was causing
lockdep to add RECLAIM dependencies between locks and holler about
deadlocks.

We apply the same pattern that xfs does for disabling reclaim while
allocating vmalloced block payloads.  Setting PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO causes
reclaim in that task to clear __GFP_IO and __GFP_FS, regardless of the
individual allocation flags in the task, preventing recursion.
